Yes, I nomiated him, though didn't recieve a nomination in return. Didn't actually get ANY communication at all, as I recall. Although there were no problems with our transaction, in terms of the "pleasent experience" factor, I wish I hadn't made the nomination.

REWN!

Sam89 is just eighteen X-O Happy birthday! :-D

This was intentional. Remember that the PT takes place over a far wider time period than the OT and is during a time of great technological advancement. There is ship evolution in the OT, too. Such as the TIE Interceptor and the B-Wing.

Round 1: beat Temjeel Skreej Round 2: beat R2-D2 Round 3: beat Mace Windu (LULS) Quarter Finals: beaten by Darth Vader (Ultimate Lightsaber Duel)

Exactly. This is Star Wars we're talking about, where even the least good is still better than 99% of any other movies.

Please don't forget Douglas Adams' other works, other then HHTTG (though that is his masterpiece). Dirk Gently, for example.

Never mind. I'll do it all.

You could just follow what I did in the original tournament. OR you think of a way to do it better. Personally I would add Chewbacca to trooper's list. If you do simple elimination method (as I did) then you need to take it to sixteen fighters and add in some BYEs. I would ask that Boba get two BYEs due to his success in the original tournament.

"Worst" is so negative. Surely its the "least brilliant?"

Froody!

Don't go there.

Well that ended with huge fanfare, didn't it! :-(

I meant would anyone like to do the whole thing?

So, what do we want to do about this? My personal view at this point is to leave it for a bit. We may need to (somehow) increase the contestants to 16. Maybe include minifigs in the games. I'm off on holiday in the near future, so don't want to put this on hold halfway through. Would anyone else like to run it?

SO after 63 matches, we have a winner: Jedi Knight Anakin Skywalker of the Ultimate Space Battle set is our Ultimate Star Wars Minifig.

Sort of makes you re-think your chances of getting a golden C-3PO, doesn't it?

Am I the only one that's starting to think that titles and the related conversations are just too much grief?

Ah! I hadn't thought of Zam. We're short of PT characters so she should be included. I thought of Chewie but left him out to keep the numbers sensible. I don't just want an even number, I want a power of 2 (4,8,16 etc) so as elimination down to one winner is easy. I am determined that Boba gets a free pass through at least one round, so I suppose we could work the numbers to account for this. I'll have a play and re-post. In the meantime, please do post any other suggestions. Han - maybe another version? Jabba - no, he's a crime lord, not a BH Gammorean - no, he's a guard and nothing more (unless you count air-guitar player)

OK, I've chosen seven contestants (a bye for Boba making the 8th place) and randomised to give us a fighting order. The fighters are currently: Lando (Cloud City) IG-88 Dengar Han (Mos Eisley) Boba (Cloud City) BYE Jango 8. Greedo If anyone has any objections to these choices or think someone else should be included then please say so here. My grand plan is that tomorrow night I'll conclude the main championship and also start this one up.

Just giving this thread a < bump > Come on everyone. Twenty-four hours until I conclude this. Lets have as many oppinions as possible. I'm gonna go and start the Bounty Hunter / Smuggler thread now.

Sinner, would you like to elaborate on that. This is the Grand Final after all. I think this will be an almight good vs evil Lightsaber match. DT will again try the Force lightening which this time Anakin will be able to deal with. DT will also try to seduce Anakin to the Dark Side, which will be sem-effective. It will bring out Anakin's frustration at the Jedi which will make him reckless. DT will obviously capitalise on this. Eventually, Anakin will take a knee or something which will be the start of the end for DT, who will eventually be decapitated. One vote for Anakin

I don't think he was suggesting tying you up...

And so we come to the Grand Final. The best two fighters out of an original sixty-four. What I'm loking for here is as many EB members as possible to give their oppininon on which if these two minfigs would win and why. Thsi being the Grand Final, I'll give thsi two days instead on one. This means the winner will be announced on Tuesday evening. Tomorrow night, I'll put up the initial thread for the bounty hunter/smuggler championship. Lets introduce our fighters. The first is a fallen Jedi and now Sith Apprentice who had a role in episodes two and three. On his way to the final, he has beaten a Sand Trooper, Ep 2 Obi Wan Kenobi, a Shock Trooper, Ep 3 Obi Wan Kenobi and Ep 3 Yoda. Lets hear it for Darth Tyranus. His opponent is a Jedi Knight on the verge of Masty (or Sith Apprenticeship). This version of the character/minifig arrives via Eta-2 Actic Interceptor. On his way to the final, he has defeated a Jawa, Ep 2 Anakin Skywalker, Darth Sidious, Darth Maul and Ep 3 Darth Vader. Give a big hand for Anakin Skywalker (Ultimate Space Battle).
